@@ar3728 I'm listening to Don right now and I'll agree that he did a wonderful job with the song!! I think I like Roy or k.d.'ions better, I hear more emotion in their voi8ces all the way through the song.
There have been many duets. There will always, only, be one of these. Music that transends, that transports us. This pair took me somewhere with this rendition and yes, I cried the whole way. Simply sublime.
My Mum died 28 years ago today, aged 52. This record was out at the time and remind me so much of her. Miss you so much Mum - I'm 53 now and I'll never forget you xxx
I remember when they first did that song together on the Johnny Carson show in 1987. They barely knew each other ... but wow, what a rendition with two very powerful voices. I had goose hairs all over my body listening to it. My dad was a big fan and in 1982 I bought my mom and my dad tickets To a Roy Orbison small concert venue. My dad couldn't stop talking about it... it was the best gift I ever gave him and my mom... the tickets only cost $13.50 each. My Dad died the same year as Roy Orbison in 1988.
Fyi.. Legendary producer and guitarist Pete Anderson who was Dwight Yoakams producer for 20+ years was the producer of this cut. I agree it was the best cover of the song ever.. Pete's talent as a producer along with the phenomenal talent of Roy & KD made it extraordinary!!
Never ever thought that this song could be performed by anyone else other than Roy Orbison. But KD Lang proved me wrong. What a fabulous version of a classic song.
The cresendo effect at the end of this duette is simply amazing, literally breathtaking best appreciated with a good hifi system. Its a pity this duette is so short in duration, could listen to it being played over and over.....
After watching Hollywood Graveyards, I am appalled that this amazing artist had no grave marker. If his wife was upset about debt, why didn’t family or fellow musicians step forward like supporters have done. Did he not have a fan club?
Shame he died a year later at a young age When I was a teenager he creeped me out always in black and dark shades.... but what a voice ... they are great together
@@daisymaefrench4041 he was shy of the camera because he was an albino with pink eyes and all. That's also why all of his videos are in black and white.
@@lovefor6ofthem he wore the sunglasses because he left his regular prescription glasses on the plane and only had the sunglasses. He mentioned that in an interview! :)
I’m on my way to see my hospice client. His final day. His family told me yesterday they grew up w him signing Roy. I’m making a playlist. It will be a beautiful day
Roy was not your typical R&R or even country singer. Aside from his incredible voice with a range very few have, Roy was a great songwriter. Roy knew tragedy, pain, joys and all the range of heartaches and triumphs of this life. Being a shy person, everything Roy was came through in his songs and performances. KD's torch & twang powerful voice and connection with Roy's spirit made them a perfect duet.
To the arranger of this specific version … kudos And the lead guitarist accompanying … All of it … even the divine K.D. Lang There to support Roy Orbison’s mythological being in this song Tonelicious classic
This collaboration was simply out of this World. Two huge voices that complemented each other so well with vocals that went hand in glove. Total respect to the legends KD Lang and The Big "O" 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This duet is one of the best examples of SYNERGY. I enjoy both singers as artists and each's solo version of this lovely song. But together they made something legendary! Perfection.
My world stopped when this song, performed by two incomparable artists sing together. Everything stopped until they finish, leaving me speechless and dumbstruck.
I LOVE IT! Roy knew talent when He saw K.D. and how only so very few like her in the world could have sang a duet with him.GREAT GREAT GREAT vocals.May you rest in peace Mr Orbison how the world was blessed with your music!
Brings me to tears every time I hear it. R. O.’s passing Is such a tragic loss. K. D. Is a very dynamic singer and she gave 100% to a classic song and it showed up quite obviously. A true tear jerking performance.
All these years later, still just as beautiful, and now it means more to me than words can say. My Mom loved them singing Crying together. She passed away a year ago last June 😢
Rarely does a re recorded song sound as good but this one does and KD voice is perfect in this song. A great duet for sure. The first time I heard it I had goose bumps. Great one here!
KD Lang is one of the few performers who is in a league of the Great Voices of all time, her current band and live act is an example of what creative perfection is
Duets like this don't come along every day. I'm glad that someone had the genius to match the power of k.d.lang with the timelessness of Roy Orbison on this classic song. The coupling of these two masters pales any imitators.
No kidding! wow, Kd has the best vocal TONE I've EVER heard, one of my favorite vocalists. How this happened with a legend like Roy, makes me believe in fate totally....
She was back up singer for Roy at one time two of the greatest voices of all time Roy was so natural never seemed to try he just opened his mouth and it seemed to flow effortlessly out he was said to easily sing in 3 octaves which is crazy
Beautiful, haunting, heart-wrenching song. One of my all time favorites! Roy O. was an extremely talented writer and singer- he gave the world some great music. this is one of the best duets that I've ever heard- just magical!
How can anyone give a thumbs down to this masterpiece? I've always loved this song but I have to admit, k. d. lang makes this the perfect duet. I get goosebumps everytime I watch this video.
It seems very time I hear Roy Orbison, I find me telling myself "that's my favorite song of his of all". I can't think of one that I enjoy any less than another. I swear he could sing the instructions on a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner and make it sound like a love song, lol.
I must say : I have been in an R&R band for almost 40 years so i know a bit..... But I have to say ....when you listen to this song I get the feeling and I bet many do as well, that when the finale comes, K.D. is gonna step in for Roy and sing those incredible high parts..
Roy and KD singing this wonderful song. I'm not sure any other duet could have done it better. Roy definitely sang from his heart & I'm betting touched a whole bunch of people with his words and singing from his soul. He sang what we all felt at one time or another in our lives.
This was always a favorite song of mine, and Roy's own version is legendary. Putting KD with him on the song reveals another side of it altogether. It's the first time it brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. Incredible.
K D Lang was a superior match for Roy as a duet. Roys death I heard on the radio driving.... it really touched me as I loved Roys voice... his appearing so kind. I went into a Friendlys and had a sandwich.. sat and thought about Roy...whispered a prayer..❤❤❤
I never, never get tired of listening to him, and KD just makes it all the more sweet. Aclassic 50 years ago and it will be one 50 years from now. No one has ever had a voice like that.
I could only imagine the music Roy Orbison could have created if he was still alive. KD Lang was her best here....this song put her on the international map!
I grew up with Roy Orbison back in the day when I was young and now I'm still heartbroken over his passing and I can't imagine what the world will do with out him around and I can't believe he died in the 1980's when I was in the 4th grade in 1988 and he was terrific at anything and I admire him for his music he made and I'm not over it yet but I think he was so talented and gifted at the same time in the years since he started performing in the 1950's to 1980's music and he may God rest his Soul forever!!
I was 16 when he died. It hit me hard, I absolutely adored him as he made his huge comeback. Still miss him. One hell of a singer and human being to have that effect on people.
What an inspirational thought to put these two fantastic singers together, and how typical of Roy to let KD show her voice off to its true potential. Excellent!
I just know I shall be returning to this, but now feel the need for some "Constant Craving". First heard one night driving home to Norderstedt from my girlfriend in Reinbek, I'll never forget that experience.
K.D. Lang and Roy Orbison fans will enjoy and appreciate veteran vocalist, Shirley Bassey, who performs one of her classic hits, 'I Am What I Am'. Bassey has, and still has, now in her mid-70's, one of the most powerful voices of her generation. This clip is from a 1987 concert.
Dwight Yoakam once described Roy Orbison’s voice as sounding like an Angel falling backwards out of a window. I can’t sum it up any better. Much respect for KD Lang adding something great to an already good song. She was blown away by his powerful vocals, as well.
What a fantastic duet. K.D. Lang complimented this song with Roy perfectly. I saw another video of them singing this song standing next to each other. The emotion in that video shown by K. D., standing next to her idol, singing this beautiful song was epic. I have over 100 songs sung by Roy Orbison, he was one of the greatist singing talents of all time. Such ashame he passed away at such an early age.
I don't think there was ever another voice who could have matched Roy singing this song. Both k.d. and Roy had such powerful voices!

Don Mclean's version is also beautiful. Check it out.
@@ar3728 I'm listening to Don right now and I'll agree that he did a wonderful job with the song!! I think I like Roy or k.d.'ions better, I hear more emotion in their voi8ces all the way through the song.
I'm addicted to this song and its varieties of versions.

I feel like this is not a song, this is an emotional experience.
Perfection.
Beautifully put

kd lang is a goddess, Roy was a legend. This performance ranks as one of the highlights of all musical history. Irreplaceable.
Like Sineads OConnors tribute to Bob Dylan..
Roy IS a legend.
There have been many duets. There will always, only, be one of these. Music that transends, that transports us. This pair took me somewhere with this rendition and yes, I cried the whole way. Simply sublime.

STILL one of the most beautiful ever. The first time I saw them perform this together was on the Tonight Show and it sent chills -- still does.
I feel you
zYou get Goosebumps Invoking feelings Inspiring emotion You Let be Dormant. Roy Thank you!
I agree! Do you know who the guitarists are standing behind Mr. Orbison?
@@hannahcress6289 probably one of his long time band members or studio guy
One of the best duets ever produced! Two powerful voices that made this song so meaningful and timeless!
Beautiful together.
KD Lang is waaaay under rated.
What a voice
Oh no, she has had a long and successful career, not ''underrated'' at all. Look her up. She's well respected in the music world.🥰
I agree! She has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard.
My Mum died 28 years ago today, aged 52. This record was out at the time and remind me so much of her. Miss you so much Mum - I'm 53 now and I'll never forget you xxx
God Bless Stevie 🙏🙏
My Mum died last year at 91 and this is my song for her too xxx
Stephen ... Fifty two; too young to pass away ... my most sincere condolences ....
Today is my mama’s bday. She introduced me to kd. Roy was her favourite. My mama has been gone almost 8 years. 💔
Sorry for your loss.
I remember when they first did that song together on the Johnny Carson show in 1987. They barely knew each other ... but wow, what a rendition with two very powerful voices.

Great memory!
This was on the soundtrack to Hiding Out…
k.d. lang is the only one I’ve ever heard that could even get close to matching Roy Orbison’s voice. ❤️🎼🎧🎶💙
Don Mclean?
KD Lang was meant to sing this song
She did
Yes he did
Epic; just absolutely stellar. TY🎉
Best version of this song I have ever heard. Simple outstanding!!
Fyi.. Legendary producer and guitarist Pete Anderson who was Dwight Yoakams producer for 20+ years was the producer of this cut. I agree it was the best cover of the song ever.. Pete's talent as a producer along with the phenomenal talent of Roy & KD made it extraordinary!!
Never ever thought that this song could be performed by anyone else other than Roy Orbison. But KD Lang proved me wrong. What a fabulous version of a classic song.
I love the versions of both of them singing this song individually, but together... I mean, this is magical. Just... wow!
The note Roy hits at, "For you DON'T love me." Perfection. Goes right through you.
I know what you mean.
Yes absolutely
He literally sounds like an angel. Or how I’d imagine, at least, haha!
Yes!!!!!
The cresendo effect at the end of this duette is simply amazing, literally breathtaking best appreciated with a good hifi system. Its a pity this duette is so short in duration, could listen to it being played over and over.....
K.D. Lang's voice fits this song GREAT!!!!
I don't think Anybody can sing this song Better than Roy or K.D.
Is there a single person who has ever had their heart broken, that is not in tears?
2024. This goes out to anyone who shed a tear for someone they loved and lost. Two great voices, one gone now. RIP
Love how their voices perfectly mesh at the end. Beautiful
😭never been able to listen to this version without Ballin my eyes out😭 KD Lang and Roy Orbison were meant to sing together
This has to be one of the best duets of all time.
The best duet ever recorded, hands down. Vocal perfection!
I totally agree.

He wore the dark glasses only because he was shy standing in front of an audience.
@@daisymaefrench4041 he was shy of the camera because he was an albino with pink eyes and all. That's also why all of his videos are in black and white.
@@lovefor6ofthem he wore the sunglasses because he left his regular prescription glasses on the plane and only had the sunglasses. He mentioned that in an interview! :)

Tonelicious classic
This duet always brings me to tears since I lost my husband in 2014.
This collaboration was simply out of this World.
Two huge voices that complemented each other so well with vocals that went hand in glove.
Total respect to the legends KD Lang and The Big "O"
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
One of the most beautiful duets. Can’t believe he was just 52 when he passed. He was magical.🖤
The world was just re-discovering Roy's talents and re-learning his wonderful songs when he died. What a loss. Just as he was making a comeback.
This duet is one of the best examples of SYNERGY. I enjoy both singers as artists and each's solo version of this lovely song. But together they made something legendary! Perfection.
Crying. It's all here. Tears of loss. Tears of sadness. Tears of astonishment. Tears of anguish. Tears of joy. This performance evokes all of these.

Seamless.. I am crying at the haunting beauty and
Poignancy of this performance…..…..two unbelievably talented vocalists! Real treasures….
Might be the greatest vocal performance ever.
This is so beautiful - they sound perfect together - this is a timeless song - always give me chills everytime!
absolutely outstanding.2 beautiful voices that blend so well together
When you can sing with such a tremendous voice as she has, who the hell cares who she happens to sleep with? She is an amazingly talented woman.
Brings me to tears every time I hear it. R. O.’s passing Is such a tragic loss. K. D. Is a very dynamic singer and she gave 100% to a classic song and it showed up quite obviously. A true tear jerking performance.

This is one of the most haunting songs with both the lyrics and melody. Their voices are beautiful together. Love it!

I love it how they share a smile at the end; like they know they've just recorded a classic.:)

How this happened with a legend like Roy, makes me believe

So many positive words, I will just listen❤

Amazing collaboration of two great singers! Still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. RIP Roy 🙏💕
Roy Kelton Orbison was so talented in my opinion he died on December 6,1988 and I can't believe he died 32 years ago when I was in the 4th grade
This version/rendition brings out the emotion and pain in the song, which was not evident in the 'almost-too-happy' original.
A-FREAKING-MAZING! I am beyond blown away! It brought tears to my eyes, and gave me goose bumps! Their voices sound fantastic together!
never realy appreciated Lang's voice before this, great combo
KD's voice is almost exactly the same key as Roy's and its totally natural...... just brilliant
I must say : I have been in an R&R band for almost 40 years so i know a bit.....
But I have to say ....when you listen to this song I get the feeling and I bet many do as well, that when the finale comes, K.D. is gonna step in for Roy and sing those incredible high parts..
I lost my Mother, my bestfriend, June 2006, I'm still not over it. I still cry at least 5 times a week. I miss her so badly.
ELVIS called Him ......"the Greatest voice of all time"!!! I suppose He would know, EH? Hahahahahahaha
Elvis knew 2 Much .. !!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL ! SO BEAUTIFUL 🙏❤🌎
When a song moves you to goosebumps and a teary eye, it's amazing. This song does it, I LOVE it!
Can't stop listening.
This was always a favorite song of mine, and Roy's own version is legendary. Putting KD with him on the song reveals another side of it altogether. It's the first time it brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. Incredible.
Roy Orbison has been One of the best performersand balladeeers of all times. Unforgettable
K D Lang was a superior match for Roy as a duet. Roys death I heard on the radio driving.... it really touched me as I loved Roys voice... his appearing so kind. I went into a Friendlys and had a sandwich.. sat and thought about Roy...whispered a prayer..❤❤❤
One of the best duets ever!
The most powerful, sad and beautiful song about unrequited love. OMG this duet never fails to send shivers up and down my spine.
I never, never get tired of listening to him, and KD just makes it all the more sweet. Aclassic 50 years ago and it will be one 50 years from now. No one has ever had a voice like that.
This version of Roy Orbison and kd Lang is in my Ten top favorite songs sung of all time. May be in my top two.
This is my favorite duet of all times. So beautiful and perfect. 🙏🏻🇺🇸✝️
This song has always been one of my favorites.. when it was released it was all over the airwaves and it was beautiful

worked so beautiful, the duet on crying. 🌹💔🌹
CRYING = THE GREATEST LOVE SONG OF LOSING SOMEONE OF ALL TIME! This duet is magnificent and I still miss Mr. O!
